Geological SURVEYS.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The geological sur
vey has not as yet paid any attention to Dakots
IN Its work, except so far as the Black BILLS
are concerned. In the course of converse
tlon day or two since, Henry Gannett chief
Ceologist for the survey, was asked why Da-
kota was given no moro attention by tho
beaureau. 1t was pointed out that tho territory
was growing In wealth and population, that
her needs In tue way Of stove fuel and water
were great, and yet no attention was given
her and nothing was known of the geological
formations and her possibilities in any way be-
yond the Black Hills region. Mr.. Gannett
said he knew OF no reason why she had not re-
ceived attention except that the force had been
working III other directions. He could not
promise anything from next years special ap-
preparation for that purpose. 1t would seem
possible that the money and forco which 10
engaged in working in Massachusetts and
New jersey could be put to more profitable
work in the West. Ths survey really has no
right to work in states where there is no GOV
ernment land, and the needs of the West arc
fully rs great az those Of New England can be,
where at tho present time manufactures are
rather ahead of agriculture and mining.

Parties calling for the above will please say

We regret to announce the death of Mrs.
George Mclean, which occurred about O. clock
Sunday morning. The deceased had been con-
fined to bed for some two months, but for few
days before her death she appeared to be good
deal better, and her friends had begun to en-
tertain hopes of her ultimate recovery She
was native of Toronto, Canada, II years of
age. and for the last four years she had re-
sided in Hope. She was the mother of eleven
children, ten Of whom still survive, the young
est Of which is only two months old. The i'm
mediate cause OF her death was paralysis The
funeral occurred Sunday afternoon, and was
largely attended, Rev. Mr.. Thursten officiating.
The party of engineers who have been en-
gagged all summer in surveying and setting the
grade stakes on the Hope extension of the
Manitoba received orders on Saturday by tele-
graph to return at once to St. Paul, and ac-
cordingly took their departure on Tuesdays
train. Whether this means an abandonment
of the extension for tho present or not it is i'm
possible to say. Thenews Of the stoppage of
the work will be n great disappointment to
farmers In the northwest corner of Steele and
tho northeast corner Of Grggs, who have beon
confidently anticipating that the road would
be built in time to hanl off the present crop,
but who, from present indications, will have
topatiently wait another year for the realiza-
ton of their hopes,
We learn that several parties of hunters
have recently been cunning for prairie
chickens over on the eastern side Of Steele
county, in utter disregard Of the law. The
new law fixes the first day of September as the
date at which prairie chickens aud grouse can
legally be killed, and the last day Of December
as the date at which killing must cease. Geese,
ducks, snipe, curlew and plover may be law
| fully killed between thsr1st day OF September
and the 18th day Of May. The game law inl-
poses fine Of from 500 to $500 upon trans

Now that Pasteur's system of inoculation
against rabies has been endorsed by the con-
sensus of the British medical profession, more
confidence will probably be engendered in DR..
Freire's yellow fever inoculation. Pasteur
has been hoty assailed and blackguarded, but
he has triumphed; and, as the principle Of Or.
Freire, Of Rio Janeiro, is the same, it is not
improbable that Yellow Jack will have to

uary to August 1855, not single one Sec

Bismarck Tribune DR.. Alloway, terri
torlal veterinarian, has been slaugl,terinp
horses in and about Bismarck at a boom
rate for two days, and will return in a
few days to resume work among the ami
mails.
The report that ganders had broken
out IN this region was at first doubted,
and DIR. Alloway was sent for He at
once pronounced the disease glanders,
and found it to be in its most dangerous
form. Already he has killed twelve ami
mails, and upon his return he will kill
more. among those shot was one be-
longing to James Noonuu, one to John
Ostlund. and one to Gordon Bright. Five
or the horses in Robidou's barn were
killed. a colt belonging to John David
son, two horses to John Robidou, and a
mare and yearling colt to George P. Elan
merry. -Four mules belonging to Mellon
u McClung we're killed, and four horses
belonging to this firm will be shot whcu
the doctor returns. After examination
OF the premises the doctor quarantlned
John Ostlund's livery stable, and it must
remain locked until the disease is checked.
1t IS understood that the disease has taken
firm foothold in this barn, and all the
animals are liable to be killed. A valu-
able black horse belonging to John White
was taken out to be shot yesterday after
noon, but, just as the trigger was to be
pulled, it was decided that there was a
possibility of saving him without endan-
gering other animals. He was placed in
a small shack south of the city and was
quarantined. Dr.. Alloway discovered a
glandercd pony on the street, last even
ing. 1t was in use by Bert Northrop ;
but, as the disease was in the primary
stage, the animal was not shot, but quar-.
antned., The disease is spreading rap
idly, and it is fortunate that the veteri-
marian was called. The contagion is not
only fatal to animals, but often works
sad havoc among the people, and it is
important that it be suppressed at once.

from It's exchanges extracts from the let
ters of Dakota people who have emigratcd
to the Pacific Slope. In every case the
comparison between the far-wcstern re-
gion and the Empire Territory has not
been to the disadvantage of the latter.
But, since the time when a noted temper
ancc lecturer illustrated the evils of in
temperance by placing an old topper on
the platform aud referring to him in his
address, all questions are better illustrated
by "a horrible example:" and we now
have one--but of the roaming and not the
topper kind--near home. At the close of
the past winter Mr.. Will Gregory resided
near Glencoe, in Burleigh, near the EN-
mons County line. He and his wife had
two fine homestcads adjoining, on which
they had good improvements, and on
which in few months they would have
completed their five years residence and
could have made final proof. But the
exceptionally bad winter set Mr.. G. to
thinking of the Pacific Slope SO a few
weeks ago he sold ont his claims and
started toward the setting sun. Well, he
is back again, and is about as much dis
gusted with his trip and with the Pacific
country as one could possibly be. lie
says all he wants now is timber claim
on the Missouri Slope. Will is very earn
est in his advice to his old ncighbors to
stuck to their Dakota farms. In cOnver-
sation with RECORD representative he
remarked eff a man must travel further
west before he's satisfied, let him travel
but let HIM keep his land here to come
back to, as he surely will" He says that
the Pacific Coast is no place for poor
man, and especially is it no place for a
| farmer with limited means.
